Hey, Media! You Should Be Putting the Impeachment Story Front and Center by Andrew Bard Schmookler

TWO CLEAR REASONS IMPEACHMENT SHOULD BE A BIG STORY

Polls recently revealed that roughly half the American people favor the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. There have never been opinion polls like these: half the country, and this is without the impeachment process having even begun.

Even if there were nothing but unprecedented opinion polls like these, that would be a big story. So, mainstream media, why aren't you telling it?

But of course there's more --much more!-- than the opinion polls.

Well... the book has arrived on the scene to great reviews. Kevin Kelly, co-founder of Wired Magazine writes:

"The hive-mind of Christianity speaks! It brings news of the future. Uttered like a prayer retrieved from the year 2030, spoken in a new tongue, a new form. Listen!"

“The Wikiklesia Project has garnered some of the savviest writers and bloggers around in a daring attempt to radically democratize knowledge—and in the process unleash theological reflection where it matters most: in the public sphere. This is not just some new way to self publish; it is a new and exciting form of collaborative theologizing on critical topics that concern us all. Welcome to your future.”

- Alan Hirsch, author of The Forgotten Ways as well as The Shaping of Things To Come (with Mike Frost) and Founding Director of Forge Mission Training Network
